If SI is as insidious and potentially dangerous as advertised in flight safety circles, it doesn't explain why thousands of pilots are apparently unaffected and therefore don't crash when faced with IMC take offs and go-arounds
Agree, it has never affected me in 32 years of flying.
If indeed it was a big deal there would be wrecks scattered around the country side by the thousands..
A bit of basic instrument skills should mitigate any S.I. and S.I. should not be a reason or an excuse to fly an operable craft into the ground.
Try a good scan instead.
